Re: UK TV Programs
Anyone catch The Fall?
It's a 5 part series, though I don't know if that's separate stories or one continuous one.
Has Gillian Anderson, set in Ireland, about a cop brought in from the Met to help out with a potential serial killer.
As for VPN's, there are loads of recommendations on the paid front, StrongVPN and OpenVPN come to mind as being mentioned lots.

Re: UK TV Programs
Finally saw that last episode of Endeavour.
Really enjoyed the series. Rather liked how Thaw's daughter was still in the series as that reporter and that the ME chap looked like the original one in Morse before he died.
Also nice touch that Colin Dexter making a cameo in each episode, that was fun to try and spot.
That shoe shop too, in the third episode, it's the only shop on that street that has been in business throughout the Morse/Lewis shows as well, so nice to see that get a feature. Not to many shops these days were around back when this was set, apart from Blackwells and most of the pubs.
Bit of a shame that the Victoria Arms didn't get a feature though. That was the pub featured in the first and last episode of both, Morse and Lewis shows.

Frankie, a new BBC1 medical drama, following the life of a nurse I think. Anyone catch the first episode?

The killer on the show is very attractive.(just thought I'd mention that
)Question - I tried to watch Broadchurch on UK catch-up but it just gives me that last 3 episodes and not the first 5 - any idea how to watch the whole series?

Re: UK TV Programs
Rather enjoyed it, but it was a pretty slow starting first episode. Weird bit of back and forth in the time line from current to the past which took a bit of getting used to.

Yes. I liked it. But then I like her and think she's a great actress. She has not changed a BIT since the Scully days (her face that is). And it's continuous.

Re: UK TV Programs
It does centre around the nurse who does home visits for various patients and gets swept up by it a little and how it affects her personal life as well as with her colleagues.
Worth a punt this and it looked like it was going to get a lot heavier in the second episode too.

Case Histories, with Jason Isaacs, back for a second series. Pretty good too, but been a while since the first series.

I presume this is our revenge for the US Gavin and Stacy remake;

US version of The Great British Bake-Off coming. What could possibly go wrong?

Re: UK TV Programs
I'm keeping an eye out for this one - The White Queen, Phillipa Gregory adaptation for BBC and Starz. Might be good and it's coming along in what is usually the summer TV dead zone after all the good shows have ended.
